Mortensen Puts Down the Hammer

Anthony Chimkovitch dominated the chip-counts barely 24 hours ago, but it feels like ever since he lost the all in where his aces were sucked out on by pocket tens, he hasn't really got back the momentum he had.

Chimkovitch decided to raise from the button to 110,000, but saw Mortensen call in the big blind. The flop of saw Mortensen switch direction and lead out for 125,000. Chimkovitch pumped it up to 310,000, but Morten Mortensen shoved, and as the Danish pro stared down Chimkovitch in his sunglasses, he got a fold. It's a costly hand for Chimkovitch stack-wise, as he drops to below a million. Mortensen continues to grow his stack steadily in an effort to outdo his own superb 10th place finish in this exact event, the PokerStars.es EPT Barcelona Main Event, four years ago.
